aïr MOD Heritage Aluminium Windows: Combining Traditional Style with Modern Performance

Windows play a significant role in the aesthetic appeal of a property, particularly for those who appreciate traditional architecture or modern home design. Heritage windows aren’t just for traditional properties, they can also give a high-end architectural finish to a modern home.

aïr MOD Heritage aluminium windows are the perfect combination of classic style and contemporary performance.

Heritage Steel-look Window Replacements

aïr MOD Heritage aluminium windows are designed to replicate the appearance of traditional steel windows, a popular feature in historic homes and buildings. They are a perfect match for modern apartments looking to replicate industrial, New-York loft styling, and also lend themselves to traditional 1920s and 30s Art-deco interiors.

The sleek and narrow sightlines of the window frames and the use of traditional glazing bar (also known as Georgian bar and Astragal bar) designs make for a striking visual impact.

Heritage Window Performance

The aesthetics of aïr MOD Heritage aluminium windows are second to none, but it’s their performance that really sets them apart from steel-framed and older aluminium windows. Aluminium is a lightweight and robust material, making it an excellent choice for window frames. It’s also low maintenance and highly recyclable, making it a sustainable choice for eco-conscious homeowners.

Aluminium windows are energy efficient too, thanks to their advanced thermal barrier technology. This means that heat loss is minimised, and energy bills are reduced. The heritage style windows from aïr are available with double or triple glazing options, further enhancing their energy efficiency and acoustic performance. They also offer U-Values from just 1.0 W/m2K – one of the best aluminium window U-Values on the market.

aïr MOD Heritage aluminium windows are also incredibly secure. They come with a multi-point locking system as standard and are PAS 24:2016 accredited – the enhanced security performance requirements for doorsets and windows in the UK. They are also available with a Secured by Design upgrade. This is the official police security initiative which works to improve the security and safety of homes.
